Unlike proposals in other states, which outline what weeds will be removed or rivers listed for cleanup, the detail of the Barkly Tableland plan is yet to be determined.

Furthermore, according to the Green Army project list, the Barkly proposal is yet to even have a service provider.

Mr Hunt says it’s up to the Northern Land Council to decide how it wants the project to work.

"It might involve things like revegetation, and rehabilitation, or the removal of threatening species or invading plants," he said.

“We really want to make sure by working with the NLC that we're working with traditional owners.

“So we're taking our time to make sure the traditional owners are brought in and consulted, and it will be for the NLC to do that.”

Mr Hunt says as the second round of Green Army applications approaches, he’s like to see the Northern Territory pastoral industry, local councils, and traditional owners suggest additional conservation and rehabilitation ideas.

"We'll be making contact with the cattlemen bodies and different groups in the Northern Territory, so it’s an open door, not a closed door," he said.

“There’s potential right across the Territory, whether it’s from the Centre, or the remote communities or Darwin.

“There’s an enormous opportunity for land rehabilitation, environmental improvement, species recovery, mango rehabilitation and twinning that with local jobs.”
